The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command awarded a $2,458,055.00 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Thales Defense & Security Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer, for the delivery of electronic modules. This contract was not set aside for any specific business type.
The original solicitation specified the requirement for electronic modules bearing national stock number 7R-5963-145592051-ZR, with delivery to be FOB (free on board) origin. The design control activity required the parts to be acquired from an approved source to maintain quality, with the approved source retaining data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the government.
Thales Defense & Security Inc. was the prime contractor on this award. Thales AVS France SAS, a subsidiary of the broader Thales Group, was listed as a subcontractor providing a variety of spare parts, repairs, and avionics components in support of the prime contract. The contract award does not appear to be associated with a larger indefinite delivery or basic ordering agreement vehicle.
